Origin of raw materials
Discover the Origins and Identity of the Ingredients
The Experience Box No. 11 – Jam + Chocolate + Crackers | Christmas Edition is a tribute to Portuguese flavors and the connection between land, tradition, and innovation. Organic raspberries and mint grown in Portugal, Santo André variety strawberries, vibrant chili peppers, and the historic cocoa from São Tomé come together with the art of artisanal baking from Aveiro to create an authentic and remarkable flavor experience.
Each ingredient tells a story — from the fertile Portuguese soil and the know-how of traditional producers to the historic legacy of African cocoa introduced by Portuguese navigators. The result is a Christmas gift that embodies the essence of the Flavors of Portugal — genuine, intense, and full of soul.
Organic Raspberries from Portugal
The raspberries used in this jam are organically grown in Portuguese orchards, without pesticides or chemical fertilizers. With a delicate aroma, smooth texture, and a balanced sweet-acidic taste, they are handpicked at the perfect stage of ripeness to preserve all their natural properties.
Rich in vitamin C and antioxidants, these raspberries give the jam its vibrant color and fresh taste, reinforcing its artisanal and healthy character. They are the perfect base to harmonize with the citrus note of lime and the aromatic freshness of Portuguese mint — a balance that reflects the care and natural beauty of local cultivation.
Portuguese Lime
Grown in fertile soils and under the mild climate of central and southern Portugal, lime lends the jam its lively acidity and unmistakable citrus fragrance. It awakens the senses and balances the natural sweetness of raspberries, creating an irresistible sweet-and-sour fusion.
Lime also symbolizes freshness and purity, rich in essential oils and vitamin C, contributing to the jam’s unique aromatic profile — light, refreshing, and naturally vibrant. A genuine expression of contemporary Portuguese flavor, where tradition meets modernity.
Organic Portuguese Mint
Portuguese organic mint is cultivated sustainably in small farms that respect nature. With its intense aromatic notes and freshness reminiscent of lemon, mint adds lightness and a fragrant touch to the jam, making it irresistibly balanced.
This aromatic herb, deeply rooted in Portuguese cuisine and culture, turns the jam into a sensory experience that awakens both smell and taste. Its subtle yet distinctive presence bridges the fruity flavor of raspberries and the citrus note of lime, creating a perfect harmony of contrasts.
Santo André Strawberry
The Santo André strawberry is a gem of Portuguese fruit cultivation. Known for its intense aroma and naturally sweet flavor, it stands out for its juicy pulp and bright color reminiscent of Portugal’s coastal fields. Handpicked at the perfect moment, it ensures freshness and a soft texture that pairs beautifully with the strength of dark chocolate.
In the São Tomé Dark Chocolate Spread with Strawberry and Chilli, this fruit brings a fruity and perfumed note that softens the intensity of cocoa, creating a delicious and balanced contrast. It’s the taste of the Portuguese summer reinterpreted in a warm, rich, and passionate chocolate spread.
Chilli Pepper
The bright red chili pepper is one of the most iconic spices in Portuguese and Lusophone cuisine. With a pungent, slightly smoky flavor, it adds warmth and energy to the chocolate spread without overpowering it. It’s the ingredient that turns tasting into an intense and unforgettable sensory experience.
Used with precision, chili balances the bitterness of cocoa and the sweetness of strawberries, creating layers of flavor that unfold slowly. An exotic and vibrant touch that celebrates the spice heritage brought to Europe by Portugal during the Age of Discovery.
São Tomé Dark Chocolate
São Tomé dark chocolate has a deep connection to Portugal’s history. The islands were discovered in 1470 by Portuguese navigators who introduced the first cocoa plantations, making the archipelago known as the “Island of Cocoa.” Today, this cocoa is recognized as one of the best in the world — a symbol of purity and tradition.
With 70% cocoa content, it offers notes of coffee, dark fruits, and a dense, creamy texture. It is the heart of the Dark Chocolate Spread with Strawberry and Chilli, responsible for its intense and elegant profile. Each spoonful is a journey across continents and cultures, uniting Portuguese heritage with the pleasure of artisanal chocolate.
Artisanal Crackers from Aveiro
Produced in Aveiro by Diplomata Biscuit, the Crackers Ondina Mar represent the Portuguese tradition of artisanal baking. Light and crispy, they are made with simple, plant-based ingredients — lactose-free and with no added sugars.
These vegan crackers are the perfect counterpart to the jam and chocolate, balancing flavors and textures. Inspired by the delicate ocean waves that caress the coast of Aveiro, they reflect the authentic taste of Portugal’s seaside — natural, genuine, and full of life.
